    Spaghetti with meat sauce...garlic bread and salad not shown
    Lora D.

    My rating is 3 1/2 stars. I'm comparing Jim's to dinners. Those missing lunch counters at Woolworth's, your local drug store or department store lunch spot. Not the latest thing at the Pearl or even your favorite local restaurant around the corner. I grew up on the East coast, DC area, where dinners and lunch counters were a favorite go to for breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night. It's that place you have 4 or 5 favorite orders that you rotate and you go there because your mouth is already set for that dish. Oh maybe, once in a while you won't have something in mind and decide to try something new and maybe add to your rotation. It's where you went with friends or coworkers after you worked a late shift or got off work early in the morning. They are not open round the clock anymore...where I wonder do those workers go now? For many years I happily ordered and really enjoyed their Canadian Cheese Soup...broccoli cheese soup to me. Then one day when I was ill a friend brought me Jim's Chicken Tortilla Soup...5 stars every time...and I've never gone back to cheese soup though I'm sure it's still great. Jim's got me through Covid when I needed a balanced meal. Something solid and satisfying. Yes I too go out and try that new spot...that ethnic meal either from a place I've visited or lived or one I never have. But this is the basics, not too spicy, what mother or grandmother might put in front of you. So this visit was called in and picked up...my dinner then lunch the next day. Spaghetti and meat sauce....lots of meat, good garlic bread, it's light on the tomato sauce and when I eat in I get them to bring me the marinara sauce dipping cups and add it. No it's not up to my favorite Italian restaurant in spices etc but perfect for when I'm lazy and just want some. Or when my tummy etc are kicking off and I just can't have spicy anything, or under the weather. I enjoyed a salad with this. Second was a club sandwich...have loved this sandwich since childhood...and they always give you the pickle unlike some more pricey sandwich shops where it never seems to be put in the box even as they swear it's there when you pick up. And I had a salad with it. Unfortunately it's a little hot for soup right now. They are good about you deciding to change your side or even add an egg to something that doesn't come with an egg. Is it exciting food? Not really but very satisfying for what it is...basic solid food served as you expected it every time.

    Cheese enchiladas made with chili! She got the Senior meal so it's not too much for her

    Come see Andrea she's an awesome server! Kids love the food and talking to Andrea! Love the chili!!

    Steak&shrimp- w couple of onion rings we share :)
    Roxanna L.

    We went to see our pops on Valentine's Day and usually go to a nicer spot but due to weather turning a bad turn and ice on roads #2021SASnowdays - we went to a comfort spot close to pops. Our waiter was super nice and friendly - great personality! I enjoy him! Ok this is comfort food so it is what is is and it was super comfortable! Pops had steak and shrimp! Brother had double meat burger with delicious onion rings and I had pork chops - wow those things were good! The cook was awesome! Only suggestion is for the mashed potato's they had zero flavor had to pour lots of gravy! We made it in and out safely and with a good experience!

    Our family has been going here for years because of the friendly servers and familiarity they provide the service with. This is a busy location and sometimes waits are long so if you're in a hurry call ahead and order take out or sit at the bar. Their weekday specials have got to be the best value of any restaurant in San Antonio; homemade style, generous portions, and a free drink to boot. Meatloaf Mondays and Pot Roast Wednesdays are our favorites. I gotta give this location five stars because of service and despite being part of a larger firm, the charm of a family run business. We always see the same familiar faces and are always left with the impression they are trying the best they can for us. This location is older and would benefit from a refresh but it's got a lot of heart and we'll be back.

    Getting some breakfast
    Dominique H.

    This is my favorite location. I took my grandma here for a brunch outing. I've been coming here since I was in kindergarten. The staff are personable. They also know the menu if you have any questions about the plates. What I loved: Their tortilla soup is my go to. I got it that brunch and it was fantastic as usual. It had just the right amount of cheese, and by right amount I mean it had a lot of cheese. My grandma got the senior one egg with sausage. She said it was delicious. Another major plus was the coffee. It was strong and good. What I also love about Jim's is they are open 24 hours and they serve breakfast all day. I can't wait to go here again.

    My chicken fid steak is a bowl for my gravy! ! Woooo!!
    Jack C.

    3 fingers of scotch is what Mr. Smidgens is used to. Now 3 fingers of gravy? That's a first! Yuppers, Mr. Smidgens and his lovely song bird were heading back to Austin after playing a charity event for The St Jude Foundation. We had read via social media that our very own Kelly S. had dined at a Jims recently. It was a cold dreary day, why not. We walked in and saw young and old alike. The older crowd had just come from church and were all dressed to the nines! They were regulars too. They knew the waitstaff and the waitstaff knew them. The service was great! Our waiter really took care of us and he genuinely enjoys his job. That is always great to see. We made our choices and went with the eggs Benedict and the chicken fried steak with cream gravy, hash browns, and eggs over medium. "What the? Wow!"' Is what we both said as our food was brought to the table. My cfs was flipped into a bowl and full of creamy gravy. It was glorious!! I did indeed measure the gravy with my trusty scotch fingers. 3! What a time to be alive!

I also got the Big Easy biscuit with a side of grits. The grits were really good too and had a little spice to them. The biscuit itself was SO good and fluffy! definitely the star of the meal. It was a little messy with the eggs and sauce, so I ended up eating it with a fork. The biscuit came with potatoes on the side, but unfortunately they were overcooked and super hard/crunchy, so we could barely eat them. Overall, I'd definitely come back and try more menu items!
